Those nasty cigarettes

I wish to god at 17 I had never picked up that first cigarette, because now they are so
expensive and they have me hooked into a mindset, that i have to have them all the time
and quitting is a chore, i would like to quit the nasty things but without them i easily get
bored. I know they are unhealthy the surgeon general clearly states on the pack, i wish that
i could quit them to get rid of this nasty hack of a cough i always get in the morning, i had
better quit the nasty things that nasty hack of a cough could be a warning.
Don't really smoke
just have heard that cigarettes are really bad
for you

And so they are, started when I was eleven years old and smoked for a little over forty four years. I have been off tobacco for a little over two years, and yes I do feel so much better. TY for this write.
